December...

Right now as I'm writing this Ashley is on an airplane flying home from Washington DC and Tyler and Brittany are driving from Rexburg. I am so excited!!  Everyone will be here by Christmas Eve...


these little t-shirts say "Who needs Santa Clause we have Grandparents"                    Mark and Jacki Bracken's son Dallen is in between Gage and Zane



Our cute little Zane Robert....   
and Gage William, they are 7 months old now!! Gage is our little thumb sucker-always happy!  They are at such a fun stage right now-smiling and laughing, rolling over and trying to crawl....oh no!!      We are so lucky they only live a few minutes away!!



My nephew Tanner and his darling wife Charee had their daughter, Chloe's  1st birthday party... just look at that yummy cupcake!!  She is the only girl cousin with all of these little boys!! 




My brother Paul's son's-Mark, who just moved here...and Matthew who was just visiting from BYU-Hawaii.  We have more fun with this little scottish red haired hat, that Bob and I actually got when we were in Scotland a few years ago...Bob's birth place!  Even with that matted ragga- muffin hair, Dallen and Zane are still cute!  And a couple of cousins pictures.



Carson right after Primary Activity Day about missionary work....and his flag football season!!  This was his first year of playing football.  He was on a team with two of his buddies.  We had fun watching him!!  The season went by way too fast!!

Our Thanksgiving...

This year was a Klepinger Thanksgiving... We were suppose to have 33 Klepingers for dinner, as you can tell we had some families missing...Jay's clan and Terry's fam were sick and they were missed!! ( Along with Ashley, Tyler and Brittany.)


It was suppose to rain all day but it actually turned out to be a beautiful day and the children were able to play outside!!  After a fun day we headed over to my sister's house for a Bracken get together.

Midnight-"Twilight" Birthday Night!!

My birthday just happened to be the night Twilight came out!! (I have 4 sisters that all live close by and we always get together for our birthdays) So this was perfect!!  We met at my sister Connie's house at 9:00 sharp and ......
ate yummy stuff...
I stold these cute collages from Lyndsie's blog!!
My sister's-Connie, Joan, Lorette and Lynda made me wear these vampire teeth with a tiara and pinned the "Bite Me" sign on my coat-which I pretended I didn't know was there-while we waited in line!!  We always have so much fun when we are together.  It was good to have our daughters with us too!!  And our neice Jacki!!
I Love all of you-thanks for such a memorable B-Day!!!
